one of the tragedies of this huge tragedies in japan is that japan can't walk away from nuclear energy even if it wanted to right now even in light of what's happening at this moment. well no i mean they rely on nuclear power for i think about forty percent of their electricity supply and there's no way they could replace sedna short term now they may find that they can shut down some reactors for maintenance and upgrading but you know you're going to find five years from now they'll probably be using about as much nuclear powers are using today it's just impossible to make that kind of change quickly you know these are huge investments you know putting in that many windmills will take forever for example or even natural gas turbines which is one of the best alternatives so i think what you're going to see is those four units will be shut down probably the others will come back online at some point just as a three mile island they brought the second unit back on and if i did point out of chernobyl the same thing there is still one of the plants a chernobyl is generating energy even aft

it is saturday morning in japan. the sun is up and the extent of the catastrophe is becoming painfully clear. it's been nearly 24 hours since a powerful earthquake touched off a huge tsunami that swept across japan's east coast. the quake, a magnitude 8.9, was the fifth-largest in modern history. centered off japan's northeast coast, it was felt for 1,300 miles. very early reports say more than 400 people are dead. japan's kyoto news agency says the final number is expected to top 1,000. most of the victims drowned. nearly 1,000 are reported injured, more than 500 are missing. and four million homes and businesses lost power. the first estimate of the damage: $10 billion. that damage includes a nuclear reactor in northeastern japan. radiation levels are soaring and the area is being evacuated. most flights between the u.s. and japan have been canceled, and there were fears the tsunami would pound the u.s., but by the time the waves reached hawaii and the west coast this morning, they had lost most of their punch. pre
